Interactive: The Top Programming Languages 2016 Find the programming languages that are most important to you By Nick Diakopoulos and Stephen Cass Posted 26 Jul 2016 | 16:00 GMT
This app ranks the popularity of dozens of programming languages. You can filter them by listing only those most relevant to particular sectors, such as “Web” or “embedded programming.” Rankings are created by weighting and combining 12 metrics from 10 sources. We offer preset weightings—the default is our IEEE Spectrum ranking—but there are presets for those interested in what's trending or most looked for by employers. Don't like the defaults? Take complete control and create your own ranking by adjusting each metric's weighting yourself. To compare with previous year's data, add a comparison and then choose “edit ranking,” which will give you the option to compare with data from 2014 or 2015. We take a pragmatic approach to how we classify languages into types like “embedded” or “Web.” Placement is based on typical use: For example, we are very impressed by those brave souls who have written Web servers completely in assembly code, but we don't categorize Assembly as a Web development language.
